Added on October 20, 2011, 9:31 amDo you really need a tempered glass for roof? Is your glass under a load or just a cover?

Thanks for the feedback. Hmmm I guess AC fellas will know what to do, but I just don't want to suffer a hole in my roof if those AC fellas a a little careless.

For skylight I prefer temper glass is not noisy and no color fade.

I m thinking of a cheapest way.

Tempered glass use mainly for load. Since skylight is just a cover and there is many frame support from below, why still need expensive tempered glass. Probally laminated glass will do. That can reduce the cost. A thick glass already better a lot than the polycarbonate for noise.

But do glass color fade under the sun for long period?

Aiyah color fade on polycarbonate, the laminated price and laminated actually not much difference because temper, think about rm5 extra pqft.

But this I am not too concern now, I can do the parking after I move in.

Sorry, I read wrong about the glass fade color.

Polycarbonate color won't fade. It get dirty and look dull when not clean frequent. All my house shade is using polycarbonate for over 10yrs. Cheap at that time.

But glass look better.

Glass also less noisy. But is sure more expensive.

Price quoted to me for 22x10 ft plus frame is 13K.

Here are some other options to think about if you want to install awnings

Just been quoted RM1k for 4 by 9 ft hollow polycarbonate with rod iron frame.

anyone have good company to recommend? planned to do awning with tempered glass / laminated glass, and the frame using metal

Whatmaterial are you using ???13K? or 1.3K?
13K / 220ft (22*10) = RM 59/ft???

So, what is the approximate rate per sq ft for polycarbonate awnings? Anyone here care to share?

anyone can recommend me a good company with good price for glass awning?

How often you need to have 2 persons standing on the roof repairing/servicing your airconds? Just put a piece of large and thick plywood on top the roof you can step on any where you want if the roof is flat. The weight is spread. Not enough, 2 pieces. plywood is cheap just that after the job you have to have a place to keep and hide them away.

Have been looking for polycarbonate as well. Interested in the pergola style but using ms steel frame which is cheaper than wood. So far 2 quotes for 22x14 car porch is ard rm5500-5800 (rm18-19psqf) using solid type polycarbonate.
Anyone has contractors with better price?
